So we went to the beach today. . .  Okay, we only went to Galveston, which has waves about as overpowering as the kidee pool at Schlitterbhan.  Anyway, the water was extremely clear, surprisingly, and the waves seemed to be moving in a much more enthhusiastic flow than normal.  Well, my buddy Daniel and I decided it would be a good idea to not wear any sunscreen. . .  Not a good idea. 

I love the beach, though.  It's a cheap form of entertainment that brings an eccclectic range of people together.  And although they can get overcrowded, there's something very serene about the sun, and consistent motion of waves.  I love the smell of salt-water, and the way you can feel the movement of the ocean inside your body even hours after leaving.  Maybe my perception is slightly skewed since I grew up in West Texas farm land, more than nine hours away from the closest beach, but I feel the same every time I go to one, and I don't think  my feelings would change if lived close to one. 

There was this little boy there today.  He was about ten or eleven, slightly pudgy, looked a lot like I did at his age.  Anyway, we were out in the water and he came right out to us and started talking.  He asked us where all of these waves came from, and we responded by saying, "the moon."  Apparently he thought we were nuts, because he hightailed it away from us back towards his family.  Funny story. 

Anyway, I'm about to go lather up with a third round of Aloe Vera, but I hope that everyone has a good weekend.  And remember, if you're reading this, don't waste any more time.  Go call your mom, she misses you. 

Well, here I am now, doing the seemingly unthinkable.  I have spent so much time over the last few weeks trying to convince my girlfriend and all of her friends that Weblogs were a bad idea and a waste of time.  But, alas, I have jumped blindly onto the bandwagon, succombing to curiosity (and, perhaps, boredom?).  I can see how this could be slightly addicting. . .  Sitting at a computer terminal, divulging curious details about your uniquely erratic life onto a Weblog that is easily accessible by anyone else who has a computer and an overabundance of time.  Yes, the common bond that links humans together is growing stronger by the day, thanks to our fascination with these electronic playgrounds. 

So, my boredom/curiosity/fascination has enticed me to create my own Weblog.  I will not bore you with mundane details of my life, only interesting thoughts or interactions I have.  

Well, they say that brevity is the soul of wit, hence I must try to be as terse as possible with my ramblings.  Until next time. . .  Remember not to drink and drive.
